Les Misérables, affectionally known as Les Mis, is the stage adaptation of Victor Hugo’s 1862 novel of the same name. The sung-through musical was originally written in French by Claude-Michel Schönberg, Alain Boubil and Jean-Marc Natel and staged in 1980. After a short run in Paris, Cameron Mackintosh heard the soundtrack and decided to produce an English-language version for a British audience. Working with the Royal Shakespeare Company, Mackintosh’s Misérables opened in 1985 with new lyrics by Herbert Kretzmer. The legendary show about ex-convict Jean Valjean and his rival, policeman Javert, received mixed reviews from critics but blew audiences away. The initial two month run at the Barbican Centre was a sell-out, guaranteeing a place on the West End at the Palace Theatre where it ran from 1985 to 2004. It then moved to Queen’s Theatre where it still runs today, although it the theatre was refurbished and renamed The Sondheim Theatre in 2019. This makes it the longest-running musical in the world.
Les Misérables has had three runs on Broadway – one of which earned it eight Tony Awards – and has toured the world. Les Mis is a cultural phenomenon that can’t be avoided. And for good reason. The grand score is often covered, both by artists such as Katherine Jenkins and Susan Boyle – famed for auditioning with “I Dreamed A Dream” on Britain’s Got Talent – and parodied in comedies such as Forbidden Broadway and Netflix’s Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. It was adapted into a film in 2012 which starred Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, Eddie Redmayne and Sacha Baron Cohen. It received eight Academy Award nominations and won three. Les Misérables is a timeless musical which is still thrilling audiences' night after night – it’s even won the critics over.
Set in 19th century France, Les Misérables follows the life of Jean Valjean – an ex-convict who seeks redemption despite being hunted for decades by his rival and ex-guard Javert after breaking parole. In his quest for absolution, Jean Valjean agrees to take care of Cosette – the daughter of tragic factory worker Fantine – changing his life forever. The pair travel across France avoiding the wrath of Javert until they find themselves in Paris during the French revolution. Despite the social and political struggle, there is love, passion and courage to be found. But dreams can be broken and adoration unrequited. So how will it end for these poor souls? Les Mis is currently playing an acclaimed new production hailed as “Les Mis for the 21st Century” at The Sondheim Theatre. It transferred to The Sondheim Theatre (then The Queen’s Theatre) in 2004 after a 19-year run at the Palace Theatre. With incredible new staging and a magnificent score, we are certain this new production will continue to take the world by storm. 37 years in the West End, eight Tonys, and an Academy Award-winning film adaptation… they’re doing something right. It’s been seen by over 70 million people worldwide in 45 countries and in 22 languages and shows no signs of slowing down. There’s literally something for everyone in Les Misérables. It’s an epic musical about passion, destruction, revenge, poverty and hope all set against the French revolution. It’s a relatable story about redemption and survival coupled with a goosebump-inducing score. With some of the most well-known, memorable and loved songs in musical history – including “I Dreamed A Dream”, “On My Own”, “Do You Hear The People Sing?” and “One Day More” – you’ll want to sing along to this incredible show even on your first viewing. If you can speak through your sobs, that is. Les Mis is the quintessential musical which has achieved legendary status across the world. Sounds pretty good now, doesn’t it?
